Varied Terrain Target Name:   Titan Spacecraft:   Huygens Probe Instrument:   Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer Produced by:   ESA/NASA/Univ. of Arizona Copyright:  NASA Copyright Free Policy Cross Reference:   PIA07231 Date Taken:   14 January 2005 Related Documents Huygens at Titan Titon Saturn Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size PIA07231.jpg JPEG 305 x 261 18K PIA07231.tif TIFF 305 x 261 67K This composite was produced from images returned yesterday, January 14, 2005, by the European Space Agency's Huygens probe during its successful descent to land on Titan. It shows the boundary between the lighter-colored uplifted terrain, marked with what appear to be drainage channels, and darker lower areas. These images were taken from an altitude of about 8 kilometers (about 5 miles) and a resolution of about 20 meters (about 65 feet) per pixel. The images were taken by the Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer, one of two NASA instruments on the probe.
